First Horsehide Project

[Colt Hammerless]

Finished this not too long ago. Originally dyed it Saddle Tan, but didn't like the way it looked, so then tried Light Brown. Still no dice, so I finally went with Dark Brown. From a tiny bit of experimenting, it seems that horsehide takes dye better if you oil it a little first. I put another light coat of oil on after wet forming and drying in front of a space heater. Finish is two coats of Resolene cut 50/50 with water, and neutral shoe polish. Thanks for looking!
